< 1 Chronicles 19 >
1 And it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the sons of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
E aconteceu, depois d'isto, que Nahas, rei dos filhos d'Ammon, morreu: e seu filho reinou em seu logar.
2 And David said, I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the sons of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
Então disse David: Usarei de beneficencia com Hanun, filho de Nahas, porque seu pae usou de beneficencia comigo. Pelo que David enviou mensageiros para o consolarem ácerca de seu pae. E, vindo os servos de David á terra dos filhos de Ammon, a Hanun, para o consolarem,
3 But the rulers of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun, Do thou think that David honors thy father, in that he has sent comforters to thee? Have not his servants come to thee to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
Disseram os principes dos filhos de Ammon a Hanun: Porventura honra David a teu pae aos teus olhos, porque te mandou consoladores? não vieram seus servos a ti, a esquadrinhar, e a transtornar, e a espiar a terra?
4 So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
Pelo que Hanun tomou os servos de David, e os rapou, e lhes cortou os vestidos no meio até á coxa da perna, e os despediu.
5 And they came and informed David about the men. And he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Remain at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
E foram-se, e avisaram a David ácerca d'estes homens, e mandou ao encontro d'elles; porque aquelles homens estavam sobremaneira envergonhados. Disse pois o rei: Deixae-vos ficar em Jericó, até que vos torne a crescer a barba, e então tornae.
6 And when the sons of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the sons of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Arammaacah, and out of Zobah.
Vendo pois os filhos de Ammon que se tinham feito odiosos para com David, então enviou Hanun, e os filhos de Ammon, mil talentos de prata, para alugarem para si carros e cavalleiros de Mesopotamia, e da Syria de Maaca, e de Zoba.
7 So they hired for them thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeba. And the sons of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
E alugaram para si trinta e dois mil carros, e o rei de Maaca e a sua gente, e elles vieram, e se acamparam diante de Medeba: tambem os filhos de Ammon se ajuntaram das suas cidades, e vieram para a guerra.
8 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
O que ouvindo David, enviou Joab e todo o exercito dos homens valorosos.
9 And the sons of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city. And the kings that came were by themselves in the field.
E, saindo os filhos d'Ammon, ordenaram a batalha á porta da cidade: porém os reis que vieram se pozeram á parte no campo.
10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him in front and behind, he chose from all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
E, vendo Joab que a frente da batalha estava contra elle por diante e por detraz, fez escolha d'entre os mais escolhidos de Israel, e os ordenou contra os syros:
11 And the rest of the company he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother, and they put themselves in array against the sons of Ammon.
E o resto do povo entregou na mão de Abisai, seu irmão; e pozeram-se em ordem de batalha contra os filhos d'Ammon.
12 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shall help me, but if the sons of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
E disse: Se os syros forem mais fortes do que eu, tu virás soccorrer-me; e, se os filhos de Ammon forem mais fortes do que tu, então eu te soccorrerei a ti.
13 Be of good courage, and let us act the man for our people, and for the cities of our God. And Jehovah do that which seems good to him.
Esforça-te, e esforcemo-nos pelo nosso povo, e pelas cidades do nosso Deus, e faça o Senhor o que parecer bem aos seus olhos.
14 So Joab and the company that were with him drew near before the Syrians to the battle, and they fled before him.
Então se chegou Joab, e o povo que tinha comsigo, diante dos syros, para a batalha; e fugiram de diante d'elle.
15 And when the sons of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
Vendo pois os filhos d'Ammon que os syros fugiram, tambem elles fugiram de diante de Abisai, seu irmão, e entraram na cidade: e veiu Joab para Jerusalem.
16 And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadarezer at their head.
E, vendo os syros que foram derrotados diante d'Israel, enviaram mensageiros, e fizeram sair os syros que habitavam da banda d'além do rio: e Sophac, capitão do exercito de Hadar-ezer, marchava diante d'elles.
17 And it was told David. And he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
Do que avisado David, ajuntou a todo o Israel, e passou o Jordão, e veiu ter com elles, e ordenou contra elles a batalha: e, tendo David ordenado a batalha contra os syros, pelejaram contra elle.
18 And the Syrians fled before Israel. And David killed of the Syrians the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the army.
Porém os syros fugiram de diante d'Israel, e feriu David, dos syros, sete mil cavallos de carros, e quarenta mil homens de pé: e a Sophac, capitão do exercito, matou.
19 And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and served him, neither would the Syrians help the sons of Ammon any more.
Vendo pois os servos d'Hadar-ezer que tinham sido feridos diante d'Israel, fizeram paz com David, e o serviram: e os syros nunca mais quizeram soccorrer os filhos d'Ammon.
